Bath repair in Ringwood

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

About our bath repair in Ringwood

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ringwood and across Hampshire.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Ringwood

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ringwood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Common questions in Ringwood

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Ringwood. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ringwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Ringwood

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Common problems we fix in Ringwood

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Common reasons people in Ringwood contact us are:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
